No Wake Zone Likely to Stick

Tuesday, 22 October 2013 14:47 | | |

Despite protests from law enforcement that the
current No Wake Zone at
Riverside Park in La Crosse is unenforcable, it will
likely stay just the way it is. The Board of Harbor Commissioners has
voted this week to recommend no change to the No Wake Zone that stretches
for more than a mile on the Mississippi and has proven wildly unpopular for all
kinds of boaters. But the length of the zone and the markers that indicate
where it is also makes it a problem to enforce according to the testimony from
city police, the sheriff and the DNR. The city council will have the final
say on whether to keep the No Wake Zone in place.
